No, definitely no. Because --quiet switch suppresses all output, so the output of rpm -ql of a normal package with a set of files included in will be also empty.

Example:
$ rpm -ql bzip2-devel-1.0.6-28.fc29.x86_64 | wc -l
6
$ rpm -ql --quiet bzip2-devel-1.0.6-28.fc29.x86_64 | wc -l
0

So you can't use --quiet switch to get number of package's files in a shell script.
